Just a few cards...

I worked on some cards today. The first two are new, but the others were made a while back. I just redid a few things on them like removing frayed ribbons, fixing measurements, adding some ink, etc. They weren't posted on my blog anyway for some reason, so I'll share them all now. :)

BoBunny Challenge Card

BoBunny is having a card challenge on their blog right now and it's so simple! All you have to do is use their paper and use hearts on your card. Easy right? It gave me the chance to use some of the Kitchen Spice papers I've been hoarding! I really looooooove this collection. The colors are so warm and gorgeous! Right up my alley...

Thanks for looking!! I'll be back soon with more cards...

Finally!

I got my scrapping mojo back today! ;) I haven't done a layout since the 5th, ugh. That's not normal for me and I was definitely having withdrawls. I just couldn't seem to do anything about it though. Every time I'd pull out a picture or some papers to get started, I'd get total scrapper's block. NOT a fun feeling at all. Thankfully today though, when I pulled out this picture, I instantly knew what papers I wanted to use for it and I LOVE how it turned out!

Supplies: Sassafras Lass Paper Pad - Hog Heaven; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Brushed Corduroy; Tim Holtz Edge Distresser; Basic Grey Alphabet Letters; Making Memories Tiny Alpha Stickers - Chloe's Closet; Ali Edwards Handwriting Font

My sweet Madison sharing some kisses with her daddy. They are TOO adorable, aren't they? ;) Thanks for looking. I hope to have some more to share soon...

A new card...

I made a quick card for the Sketchy Thursdays Second Chance Challenge today and I'm really loving how it turned out. I especially like the colors together...

Gifts...

I made some Christmas gifts this year that turned out great! I would have posted before but needed to wait until they were all received first. ;) I did 4 wall hangings and 2 framed layouts. It's so nice giving a handmade gift that you can tell is really appreciated...

*My best friend Cathy, along with her hubby Adam (also my brother-in-law) and their 4 kids - Daniel, Marybeth, Hannah & Abbey. The journaling is something that was written by Cathy about what Holiday traditions mean to her. It's absolutely beautiful...

*My mom Mary and her hubby Mike. This Scripture was read at their wedding and I thought it went perfectly with this great picture of them...

*My mother-in-law Arlene (far right) visiting with her friends Polly & Harold. They are like parents to her and she asked me to make this for them, which I gladly did...

*This is a poem written by a sweet lady named Hilda, who is a dear friend of my mother-in-law, Arlene. When I read it, I was so moved and knew I needed to make her something to celebrate it...

*My baby sister Maryann and myself. She's about to turn 23 and has grown into such a responsible, wonderful person. I just love her so much and am sooooo proud of her!!

*My sister Amy and niece Kasey. They both seem to avoid my camera as much as possible, so when I got this picture of them together, I knew I had to scrap it! They really liked it so I'm happy I did...

Sorry about the pictures...they were taken at night so the colors are off a little. You get the general idea though, right? :) Thanks for looking!

I won a SLICE!!!!

I am totally in shock right now!! Making memories had a giveaway on their blog today and the amazing prize was a brand new Slice. I'm the winner and so excited I can hardly stand it! I can't wait until it comes and I can start playing with it...

Thank you sooooo much Making Memories!!

Christmas cards to share...

Sorry I've been MIA lately everyone...my computer died, ugh. It's currently at HP being fixed, so I'm taking turns using our laptop with my 2 daughters. Good luck getting any time right? Lol! So anyway, in all the free time I've had, I've been making Christmas cards with some of the new Making Memories Mistletoe papers. They're gorgeous!! I love the colors and patterns and have really enjoyed working with them. Here are some of my favorites I've done so far...

Hopefully, my computer will be back soon and things can get back to normal for me. ;) Have an awesome day!!
